Netflix's new video approach looks better, uses less data

NHK and Mitsubishi develop the first H.265 encoder for 8K video

iSquint 1.5

iSquint, the little video encoder that could, has hit version 1.5. New things in iSquint 1.5 include a new icon, 640x480 H.264 low complexity support (whatever that means), Flash 8 video can be converted to iPod friendly formats, and faster tagging for videos in iTunes.

All of this for the low, low price of free. However, iSquint is a one trick pony (but it does that one trick very well) so if you're looking for a more robust encoder check out VisualHub.
